  1. Hi smaz, I'll leave the good people of Schaller to answer that instead of me fumbling round with a ruler http://guitar-parts.biz/hp135297/Bass-Machine-Heads-M4S.htm?ITServ=C6e27176cX14b131e4f61X49ea Cheers
  2. Your 8x10 would go well with my other 8x10 and my Matamp GT-120
  3. To the top! Not after any trades, but open to offers
  4. Thanks Jake, Unfortunately, I've just had payment through so this is sold. Cheers for all the interest.
  5. Hi all, For sale is my Guitarbuild Jazz bass body in 3 piece Ash. Beautiful grain so would look great with a clear or transparent finish. This body is slightly different to stock in that they don't usually have the ground wire hole drilled as it's based of a 1960 Jazz with the copper strip. I had a hole drilled from next to the bridge through to the bridge pickup route so the wire goes via that pickup route...does that make sense? Yes! It's also been drilled for a Schaller 3d bridge, but will obviously accept any bridge you want on it. Had a small veneer put in the neck pocket as it was slightly too wide but is great now. I'm after £80 plus a tenner for shipping, or can be collected from Lancaster. Not after any trades thanks. Here's pics, questions please ask.

  6. Hi all, Mighty Mite maple Jazz bass neck for sale. In great condition, this was bought for a project which never happened. Shipped over from the States, everything works as it should. Never installed ona bass so holes will need to be drilled to attach it, and never had tuners or string stree installed, so no annoying holes left by previous hardware. Couple of slight marks in the wood which was on it when I got it, but majority are next to tuner holes, so will be hidden. Tried to caputre in the pics. Hardly noticeable but thought I'd mention. Looking for £60 plus a tenner for shipping, or can be collected from icy Lancaster. Any questions, please ask.

  7. bump
  8. Ahh ash that's perfect, PM incoming!
  9. Bump, getting my arse in gear and getting a box for this so can ship if needs be.
  10. Mines a 3 piece, but matched pretty well. Yeah, it's Ash with walnut finish.
  11. Replied
  12. Bump - just tuners left now
  13. Thanks all, sounds and plays as good as it looks!
  14. Thanks all, she sure is a beauty
  15. And a quick Google suggest they don't!
  16. Thanks all. Sam, can't say I've ever seen a P in the same finish, but then I've not been looking for one!
  17. They're ever so slightly smaller bushings than 'standard'. I test fit them and got around this by putting masking tape around the bushing...doesn't take much at all to make it snug with the tuner hole. *Other types of tape will also work!
  18. Hi all, It's with a heavy heart I have decided to move on my 1976 Gibson Grabber G-3. I've had it about a year and it has been well looked after, however it came to me in pieces from the States. I did a build thread which can be found here, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202239-restoring-a-gibson-g-3slowly"]http://basschat.co.u...ibson-g-3slowly[/url] and you can see the condition I received it. Supposedly it was left in someones cupboard for many years. The restoration was completed by Jack at Jack's Instrument Services in Manchester who did a superb job. Quite a few bits needed to be replaced or repaired. Here's a quick list of what was done: New maple fretboard New pickguard - Chandlers in the USA New Badass II Bridge New electronics - all CTS pots and Switchcraft jack Back of neck was re-lacquered and new serial number and decals It was missing the bridge and bridge cover, which I why I went with the Badass. It also looks like it was refinished at some point. It's not the best paint job ever, but it's certainly not the worst and is suitably worn for a 39 year old bass. There's a couple of nicks and chips, mostly near the bottom of the bass, biut nothign major. I've tried to capture all these points in the photos. Thankfully, the original pickups were fine and just needed to have the lead wires extended on them. This bass has the 'buck and a half' pickup selectors which basically means all 3, neck and middle, or middle and bridge. Tone is great on all options, but I love all 3 pickups on. Sounds 'Fendery', but with a really kick and snarl. Tuners have taken a battering in their life, but were cleaned up and work fine. One or two are slightly winky on the tuning 'shaft' but doesn't affect anything. One small issue is there was an extra fretboard marker hole drilled when the new fretboard was made - this wasn't done by Jack's Instrument Services in Manchester, however he did do a great job at covering this up. It's right up high on the neck and not noticeable when playing, but wanted to mention it for transparency. The bass is in Lancaster, and collection is most welcome. I can deliver within reason for petrol money, but get in touch and we can sort something. I'm not opposed to shipping, but would rather avoid as I don't have a case for it, but we can cross that bridge. I'm a bit unsure on how to price, as it's a vintage Gibson, but obviously not original and mint, so I'm after[b] £700 collected[/b] which is less that what I paid for it for parts, shipping, customs and the restoration works. Everyone likes pictures, so here's a few.

  20. Hi folks, Called into Promenade Music in Morecambe yesterday as I saw they've just got one of these in stock. Had my eye on them for the past couple of months, so once it had arrived, I needed to check it out. It has an Ash body and rosewood board and it really kicks it out. Sounds nice and powerful and it was setup great thanks to Gary at Promenade. It seems these are relatively rare in the UK and I think this one is from one of the first batches to come here. Few other places now have one or two in stock. Neck is maple, but is finished in Walnut, so combined with the chrome/black hardware, it's a really dark looking bass, but looks great IMO. I was worried the lacquered neck might make it bit sticky to play, but it's fine. Single ply matt black pickguard really sets it off too. Not sure on the weight, but it's light, and the grain in the wood is really beautiful. Getting a slight bit of hum so might shield it in the future, but nothing that can't be sorted easily. Can't recommend Promenade enough for excellent service and stock. Good chaps in there. Here's a couple of pictures. Cheers all.
